OS -CHEROKEE MEDICINE MAN By
Robert J. Conley

The
ancient Cherokee tradition of medicine man is very much alive in
modern-day Oklahoma. In Cherokee Medicine Man, Robert J. Conley
introduces John Little Bear, a medicine man who follows his family's old
ways—medicine as it was carried over the Trail of Tears into Indian
Territory. Little
Bear asked Conley to help him reveal to the world "what Indian
medicine is really about." For Little Bear, the medicine is about
helping the people, the visitors who come to him from neighboring states
and Mexico. The astonishing stories these patients revealed to Conley
are presented here exactly as told. Little
Bear has cured problems involving health, relationships, and money by
uncovering the source of the problem rather than simply treating the
symptoms. Whereas mainstream medicine and counseling have failed his
patients, Little Bear's healing practices have proven more beneficial
time and again.$21.95+ s/h

The
first edition of God Is Red, published in 1972, was the vanguard in promoting
the recognition of sacred places. Now, two decades later, as environmental
awareness continues to grow, Vine Deloria, Jr., reminds us to learn "that
we are a part of nature, not a transcendent species with no responsibility to
the natural world." Deloria, a prominent Native American author, scholar,
lawyer, and philosopher, has updated God Is Red, his classic work on Native
religion, asking new questions about our species and our ultimate fate as we
move into a new century.Fulcrum

ways that have been handed down for generations. Navajo myths are

heart of their beliefs. In it, all the world is created together, both
gods and human beings, embodying the idea that change comes from within
rather than without. Here are myths of the Holy People, of Changing
Woman who teaches the People how to live, and of the trickster Coyote;
